June 21 (UPI) -- Vice President JD Vance got the name of Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., wrong while criticizing him, along with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, over immigration raids in that city.
Vance referred to Padilla as "Jose" during a news conference in Los Angeles this week.
A former senator, Vance also took aim at his ex-colleague's forced removal from a Department of Homeland Security news conference earlier in the month, calling it "theater."
The senior California Senator was handcuffed and removed from the room after trying to speak to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem but later said the detention was not done to grab attention.
